So Hae (Irene) ParkPh.D. CandidateHuman Genetics

“Grad school is like a weird hybrid of working and being a student at same time. It is the best and worst of both worlds. I have learned a lot of science, but I also learned real world skills like how to deal with your boss, negotiate to pursue what you want, work in a team, and operate under different mentoring styles. These are very valuable tools. These skills are very applicable regardless of what I decide to do after finishing my Ph.D.”
